This has been my favorite of the "Welcome to" so far. I actually relearned a lot of great information, and learned a few new things too.

An excellent picture-book of the Great Depression.

This might be the American girl book I've read the most. It explains the Great Depression perfectly for young children with getting too deep into the economic complexities. As an older lover of history, I've come to understand it is more complicated than just a stock market crash, but as a kid it gave me the perfect foundation. More than that, it gives you a great taste of the 1930s: the unemployment, the culture, the aftermath, etc. Highly recommended for young readers and their parents! Buy Kit's books and read this along with those. It's a great way to encourage your kid's interest in history.
